Review
Chinatown Squad reads like a movie script. But this is history, the real thing, written by an experienced police chief turned historian. As such, it pulls no punches when it comes to telling the story of the criminals and cops who have for 158 years confronted each other in the streets and alleys of Chinatown, San Francisco. --Kevin Starr, Professor of History, University of Southern California.
In his brilliantly researched work, written in the unadorned, fact-focused style of a good police report, Kevin Mullen examines the lives of men assigned to work in a culture foreign to them, where many of them served with impressive dedication, and for which, at the most crucial time of its existence, they constituted the last line of defense. --John VanderZee, Author of The Gate
This book has it all murder, organized crime, sex slaves and official corruption. . . Kevin Mullen is one of San Francisco's best and most meticulous criminal justice historians and one who knows a good story when he finds it. His work reminds us in law enforcement how far we have come and cautions us about how easy it can be to slide back. --Michael Hennessey, Sheriff of San Francisco
